Today, we are running through 1 Sam 16-19. Familiar story of David and Goliath. David, a mere shepherd boy offers to fight a giant man who is offending and opposed to God's army. Of course, the king Saul should have been the one to fight! A true leader should not neglect their duty!
Before the story of Goliath, we see Samuel going to Bethlehem to anoint one of Jesse's sons. Samuel mistakenly looks at the sons' outward appearance. When David is presented, there is unbelief as he is only a boy. See ch 16 v 7.
Does this seem like a foreshadowing of the coming of another son? Not quite what MEN were expecting!
Following God's call requires patience, obedience and priority. Is God a priority in your life? He was in David's....
